This page is a copy of the original *Modules* page. While the the Modules page will assume the role of documenting the modules in Helma NG, this page will provide a place for discussion: Which modules and function should ship with helma-ng, and how they should be structured in directories and modules.(Note: I've removed the empty module headers from the page, as they were outdated and made it harder to assess the actual content in here. -hns)=== coreCore could be renamed to "lang" or "javascript" because all modules here are extending original Javascript objects. Mozilla docs refers to these objects as "Core" (Core JavaScript 1.5 Reference:Global Objects:Array:indexOf at http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference:Objects:Array:indexOf) in their reference. What do you think? Should we stay with "Core"? Or should we change that? (matt) +/-==== array.js<a href="http://www.prototypejs.org">prototype.js</a> provides a bunch of neat functions: <a href="http://www.prototypejs.org/api/enumerable">Enumerable Docs</a> and <a href="http://www.prototypejs.org/api/array">Array Docs</a>. prototype.js could be offered as a replacement or addition to the current array.js -> see <a href="https://dev.helma.org/trac/helma/browser/sandbox/aida/modules/javascript/prototype.js">/sandbox/aida/modules/javascript/prototype.js</a>===== Array.prototype.contains works, but could be replaced by prototype.js>Enumerable>include ; see: http://www.prototypejs.org/api/enumerable/include, for compaitibility reasons we could add a conatains alias===== Array.unionHas a bug when the source objects look similar, but are not var obj1 = {test:"one"}; var obj2 = {test:"one"}; (obj1 != obj2) === true; var arr1 = [obj1]; var arr2 = [obj2]; Array.union(arr1, arr2); // => [{test:"one"}] // instead of [{test:"one"}, {test:"one"}]Array.union could be replaced by using the prototyp.js .uniq() function. It's not very fast, but it works like expected. // replacement using prototype.js var result = arr1.concat(ar2).uniq(); // or: Array.union = function() { var r = []; $A(arguments).forEach(function(arr) { r = r.concat(arr).uniq() }); return r; }===== Array.intersectionnot tested yet // replacement using prototype.js var result = arr1.intersect(ar2).uniq();
